Tyler Perry ‘s Madea will take one last bow on August 27, when a filmed version of the character’s final stage tour premieres on BET+.

The subscription streaming outlet announced the release date Wednesday for Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Farewell Play , which it bills as the “final stage run” for Madea. A press release said Perry, as Madea, “pulls together some of his audience’s favorite characters for a family gathering” in a performance lasting more than two hours. Perry is executive producer, directed and writer, in addition to his starring role.

Current events, including COVID-19, enter the scene. The live show was filmed in May, judging by a glimpse of the theater marquee in a promo for the special (watch it above). At one point, Madea separates two women who are about to hug each other. “Got that coronavirus going around!” she cracks.

Perry retired the signature character this year on stage, and last year in feature films. Eight installments in the Madea film franchise grossed more than $500 million. Perry is a part owner of BET+ and has been making much of his programming for ViacomCBS after signing a sweeping film and TV deal with Viacom in 2017.

“Tyler Perry’s Madea burst onto the scene and entered our hearts over 20 years ago and we are honored to share this final stage performance with BET+ subscribers,” BET+ GM Devin Griffin said. “Now, more than ever, is the time to celebrate family and unity and Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Farewell Play  does just that.”

Along with Perry, the cast includes Cassi Davis, David Mann, Tamela Mann, Kwaylon Rogers, Alexis Hollins, Anthony Lewis, Jacobi Brown, Ashlee B. Gillum, Walter H. Fauntleroy, RaVaughn Brown and Kendrick Mays.

Michelle Sneed and Mark Swinton are executive producers of the show for Tyler Perry Studios.

Tyler Perry ends “Madea Farewell Tour” where it all began

Tyler Perry’s Madea Farewell Play Tour will come to Atlanta’s famed Fox Theater for a five-night run on May 23rd and it’s shaping up to be an emotional ending for a journey that began in that very theater over twenty years ago.

It was the 1990s. Perry had produced and starred in his first play, I Know I’ve Been Changed , earlier in the decade in his adopted hometown of Atlanta, but audience reception was poor and the play quickly closed. It took six years of hard work and perseverance before Perry took a huge chance and a massive financial risk to put up the play once more, this time at Atlanta’s historic Fox Theater . The former 1920’s movie-palace-turned-staged-theater quickly sold out and the buzz about Perry’s play spread. That energy lead to a tour across the southern United States that lasted two years and launched Perry’s prolific career.

Mabel “Madea” Simmons wasn’t a part of the cast of characters that made up I Know I’ve Been Changed but she was certainly developing. A dependable and universally loved anchor for Perry’s entertainment empire, Madea would find herself in multiple stage plays and feature films over the next twenty years. A generation has grown up with her and now that the-much-written-about good-bye tour is here, there seems no better place to drop the final curtain than the stage where Perry walked into our collective creative consciousness.

As mentioned here before, when one door closes, many others open and it’s never been truer when looking at the immense creative runway in front of Perry. A new partnership with Viacom and BET will see a production pipeline of fresh content for years to come and his deal with Paramount Pictures promises more for his fans on the big screen as well. Perry also hasn’t been shy about expressing his want to stretch his acting chops further with more roles like last year’s VICE , a move that saw him play a pivotal role in the Oscar-nominated film as Gen. Colin Powell.

An individual in constant creative motion, Perry is near completion of a dream that started on that stage so many years ago. The 330 acre Tyler Perry Studios is the realization of that dream. The first African-American owned feature film and television studio, and the largest of its kind in the eastern US, TPS is the future Perry’s creative vision.
